There was Ethel Moorhead who threw an egg at Winston Churchill; Adela Pankhurst, who hid up a chimney to escape arrest in a Dundee Theatre and ‘General’ Flora Drummond who rode the streets of Edinburgh on a horse. Contrary to popular belief, the women of Scotland were not shy of taking part in suffragette activity, as a new exhibition at the Scottish Parliament shows.
Many of the items have been loaned by Norman Watson who has been collecting stories and ephemera of the suffrage movement for many years. He took Helen Ross on a tour of the exhibits which are on display in the entrance hall.
